Observational drawing of the everyday.
‘My World Cafe’
by David Wilson
A journey through a memory focusing on food, people and politics. Celebrating the connections that form around the table with a tantalising recipe at the end of each section. Each chapter richly illustrated with energy and humour. For a number of the chapters I visited on site places to draw from the real comings and goings of food preparation.

Drawing from life has always been an inspiration. I love to capture the every day moments with the energy and movement of real life.
